Mr.. VIM. Williams has rented and moved to
the Deter farm, now owned by Mr.. VIM. Smith,
located on the Phila. pike, in Hartford county,
near the Little Gunpowder Falls.
Mrs. Mary Wilson, residing near Putty Hill,
recently made division of her real estate and
decided to each of her five children the several
portions allotted to them, with the promise that
they should not sell the land until her death.
She made provision also that she should have a
home in the dwelling house during her life, &c.
The improved part of the property is given to her
son, Mr.. Benjamin Wilson.
It is said that member of the Fullerton De-
batting Society, who used to be very regular in
his attendance at the meetings, is scarcely ever
present nowadays. Query-why? Perhaps the
reason may be found by making reference to the
18th chapter and goth verse of st. Luke's Gospel.
The suggestions and advice contained in the
report of the late Grand Jury are well thought OF
by our citizens, and it is hoped that some por-
tions of it may be needed.

AWestern Railroad President New
York Tribune, referring to Gen. James c.. Clarke
who is we'll known in Baltimore county, says: 81.
C. Clarke, president of the Illinois Central Rail-
road, is sx-footer. He has the angularity of
New Highlander, shoulders sufficiently broad for
Hercuean tasks, full face without beard, and
dresses like Western miller, in gray clothes and
SLOUGH hat. He holds to the old Calhoun doctrine
of the State rights with tenacity that half GEN.
fury of Northern life has not driven out of his
Southern blood. He argues his side of that ques-
ton with queer illustrations and quaint question
ings. 1t is said that when in Washington he en-.
cages in controversy over this question with such
men as Evarts, Hoar and Sherman, who "take and
give' with him with great zest."

nesday morning Mr.. John Russell, who lives on
the York road, in Waverly, was awakened by a
noise on the tinroof of his porch just outside his

An Old Mill Burred.-The large old mill
part frame and part stone, located on Gwinn's
falls, on the Frederick road, took fire between s
and o'clock on Monday night last, and was en-
tirely consumed, together with the machinery. The
mill had not been in operation for several years
and was in diapidated condition. The county
fire department responded promptly to the alarm
but all.it could do was to save adjacent buildings
The property was owned by the Trustees of the
Sheppard Asylum and is thought to be insured for
its full value The loss will probably be $40, O0O

caused by boys playing in the mill.

A Very Narrow Escape.-Edward Gordon,
who is employed on the farm of Mr.. Joshua Reg
ester, on REGISTER avenue, about three miles south
of Towsontown, had very close call on Friday
afternoon of last week. He was engaged in blow
ing up stumps with dynamite and had set two
cartridges in stump, going off some distance for
safety while they were exploded by means of a
fuse. The explosion occurred and Mr.. Gordon,
thinking that both charges had gone off at once,
walked towards the stump. When he got within
few feet of it the second cartridge went off, scat
tering pieces of wood in all directions. Mr. Cor
don was knocked down and one of the flying
pieces struck him on the leg, between the knee
and ankle, making an ugly and painful wound,
but not injuring the bone. DR.. Harry S. Jarrett
was sent for and dressed the wound. Had he
been close to the stump there is no telling what
the result might have been.

the Sth district, near Oregon, was burned to the

Shrewsbury (Pa.) Items.-Mr Samuel COL
lings, the popular butcher of your town, visited
this place last week, looking up choice lots of cat
tie. He visits our part of the country several
times every spring and secures the best cattle
usually fed in our neighborhood. He is stand
ard customer for Mr.. Fred. HELPS cattle. On
Saturday of last week he purchased from Mr..
Helb very fine lot of cattle. They were in first
class order for market. The next six or eight
weeks will take out of this neighborhood most of
the fat cattle and tobacco. When these two pro-
ducts are put into the market large amount OF
cash will return to us, which will Timber up the
money market for the first of April next.
The Agricultural Society is agitating the ques-
ton of securing larger grounds again. We can
not tell whether fair ground in the heart of a
city is an ornament or not. There is not another
city in the world that can boast of having fair
ground near the centre of it. 1t seems to me this
fact should the society from its present loca
ton. 1t may be now that other grounds will be
secured, which will give the managers ample room
to spread their canvas.
Mr. James H. Hendrix handed over his stock
and property to the purchaser, Mr.. George F.
Boesser, on 1st inst, as per agreement. This wa:
the quickest change in property and business
ever knew to take place in this neighborhood.
The horse trade in Shrewsbury, that used to be
very brisk, has had the boom taken out of it by
the temporary withdrawal of S. Ehrhart from
the business. new man with large capita
will take his place in the spring, under whom Mr.
Ehrhart will no doubt find pleasant and lucra
tive situation. Horses seem scarce and high il
price. This is owing to a large surplus of feed il
the country. 1t was different last spring wher
feed was go very scarce and high.
